For sure you have heard of the so-called “the triple bottom line”. This means that companies need to prepare three bottom line statements. One of them will the measure of profit, next is people, and the last one would be planet or the measure of being environmentally responsible. These three are important in measuring the social, financial, and environmental performance through time. A company that has all these three is taking account of all the gains and costs involved in doing business.

A sustainable product design in Queensland can be a major factor in any company. A design that is sustainable is one that is environmentally-friendly, socially responsible, recognizes the consequences of actions, values fairness and equality, and proactively engages social issues. At the same time, it also optimizes the need of the planet and the people with the desire for aesthetics, innovation. And corporate profits. Moreover, it is also profitable. At present time, businesses that spend money for sustainable design are starting to reap greater revenues, recruiting more employees, and getting higher profits.

A sustainable includes actions and attitudes that help mid-sized manufacturers as they take into consideration the impacts they bring to the community. Below are these attitudes and actions.

Green Design

In order to be a steward of the environment and at the same time, to lower the environmental footprint, implementing a life cycle analysis process can be useful in product design projects in Queensland.

People-First Design

Product designers always consider themselves to be advocated for the end users. You can take advantage of this when developing new products. You can make use of a human-centered design process that begins with the people that you are designing for and ends up with the solutions that best suit their needs. Systems, products, and places designed with such process are safer, better, more enduring, more enjoyable, more livable, and offers more enriching experiences.

Social Design

This comes in two forms. One is making sure that the systems are used by the employees and networks are well designed to be safe, enriching, and equitable. The second one is an outgoing design that is focused on real worlds. This includes contribution of engineering efforts and design within the industry that creates an impact in the lives of the users.

Transparency

Millennials often look for transparency when it comes to inspecting a brand and a company. They care so much on how a product is being made, as well as its impact on the environment and people. Also, they are expecting companies to be honest and open. Thus, you need to leverage social media and share the processes and product design ideas out in the open.

CSR Policy

To be able to sustain a business needs profitable growth. A corporate social responsibility policy spells out how the company is capable of managing the interconnections of customers, employees, community, suppliers, and environment to make a positive impact on the society while still being profitable.

Designing a product or service that gives focus on sustainability will be helpful as you make the impact that you are looking for while you grow your business.
